Chapter 1256 Explorer's Perspective
At 12:15 noon, the last set of constraint rings of the portal were preheated.
In the center of the Chamberg Hall, runes wandering on the huge alloy base. The full magic light flows along the energy conduits and magic metal tracks, and is continuously injected into the arc-shaped metal arms above the device. The ring covered with runes and crystal structures has floated to the top of the portal device. In the center of the "cage" structure surrounded by the ring and the base, a twisted space of several meters in diameter is gradually taking shape.
The distorted space looks like a regular sphere, and it seems that some kind of crystal material is filled with it. The light from afar deflects on the surface of the sphere, outlining various bizarre illusions, which makes it look like a crystal sphere lens or an extremely smooth metal sphere. However, in fact, it has no solid structure at all. The spherical surface is an abnormal optical phenomenon caused by the folding of space. The wandering light and shadow are actually "view angle" in another dimension.
Carmier and Windsor Mapel stared at the huge portal device, listening to the low buzzing sound echoing throughout the hall, all the protective systems were turned on, and the psionic singers who were ready to go also came to the portal. A technician wearing a heavy protective robe with deep-sea runes engraved on the surface of the protective robe came to the two commanders, indicating that all the systems were ready.
When the time came to give the order, Windsor Mapel turned his gaze to Carmier beside him.
"You should give this order," said the legendary wizard of Tifeng with a serious expression, "for the disobedients who had been a thousand years ago, and for the pioneers who fell on the road of exploration."
Carmire stared at Ms. Windsor, knowing that he should not refuse at the moment, so after two seconds, he nodded slightly and looked at the controllers on standby.
"The ‘Human Barrier’ switches to active broadcast mode, and the psychic singer begins to resonate," the disobedient from the ancient Gondor Empire whispered, a calm and powerful voice echoing throughout the hall, "Start the portal!!"
As Carmier finished speaking, a "buzz" sound suddenly sounded in the entire hall, followed by a buzzing sound from low to high from the base of the huge portal. The huge energy had been accumulated for a long time. At this moment, they were guided to inject the fragments of the God of War located underground in the hall. Through a series of complex transformations, the projection link was released into the surface structure of the gate. The huge energy surge even affected the lighting in the hall. The light emitted by the magic crystal stone lamp flickered and darkened. Everyone felt the hair on the surface of the skin standing up, and a cold touch flowed through the nerves-
Then, everything was soon balanced. The carefully designed load system resisted the energy peak in the early stage of portal activation. The heat dissipation system buried below the device began to release huge heat to the outside of the hall. Dozens of heat dissipation gates inside and outside the Chamberg opened at the same time. The rising steam rose to the sky with the magic glow from afar. In the hall, in front of Kamaier, the "sphere" with a diameter of several meters in the center of the portal had stretched and solidified into a circular "mirror", and a magnificent view floated in the center of the mirror.
Everyone's eyes in the hall couldn't help but fall on the brilliant scenery presented in the mirror. At the same time, everyone's nerves subconsciously became tense. The commander of the safety protection team responded immediately and broke the silence in the hall loudly: "Protection team, check for divine pollution, and personnel from all departments should pay attention to their own mental stability!"
Soon, the response sound came from the responsible personnel: "No divine erosion and mental pollution were found!" "The visual and hearing of each group was normal, and the protective filter was not responded!" "The load of the 'human barrier' did not change, and the active broadcast was still continuing!"
The bright light on Kamair's body almost stagnated from the beginning, until then, the full arcane lights returned to flow. He wanted to breathe a long sigh, but he had no lungs anymore - so he could only let himself flash twice, and then turned his eyes to Windsor Mapel beside him: "Ms. Windsor, the first step is successful!"
"Yes...we really opened this portal!" Windsor Mapel looked at the image that appeared in the "mirror" with some trance, and couldn't help but say excitedly, "That...is it the kingdom of the God of War?"
"The door has indeed been opened, but whether the kingdom of God is on the other side still needs to be verified," Carmier's calm and powerful voice came from the side, allowing Windsor to quickly calm down from his excitement. "As planned, send the first 'explorer'."
Windsor nodded immediately, turned around and issued an order to the technician on standby: "Bring the 'Explorer' here."
A moment later, several technicians came to the portal, and behind them, a strange-looking puppet, about one meter tall, was followed by a strange puppet. It was a self-disciplined mechanism made of brass, with a round body and several arthropod-like footsteps. In addition to engraving magic symbols, deep-sea runes and crystal lens structures can be seen on the copper shell. It also has a "head" with a long handle and three "arms" extending from the copper shell. All of this is driven by a delicate mechanical structure and its core magic mechanism.
Carmire's eyes couldn't help but stay on the puppet for a moment. Seeing this, Windsor beside him said with a smile: "The peak creation in the field of traditional magic - perhaps not as powerful and cheap as the magic device, but it has its own function in this situation."
"…I saw some technical shadows of Iron Man engineering," Carmier whispered, "its joint coupling is Moore-76."
"Yes, we learned something from Gondor's Iron Man technology," Windsor smiled faintly, with a little pride in his tone before raising his hand, "Let the explorer enter the door!"
With everyone's anticipation, nervousness and worry, the magic doll made of brass took a step forward, and the arthropods that were moving under various terrain made a long and clattering, and walked towards the circular "lens" with a faint glow without fear. It stepped into it, and the mirror surface rippled layer by layer, and then the explorer seemed to pass through a layer of water curtain, and the figure had appeared on the other side of the portal.
After the explorer completely passed through the "lens", Windsor immediately turned to several control mages in front of the portal: "How about it, can you still track it?"
"Yes, Master Windsor," said a control wizard immediately nodded. A magical projection was floating beside him, and the scene in the vision of the "Explorer" was clearly presented. From that scene, the first thing that caught my eye was the extremely wide rock square and the grand building standing in the distance. "The signal successfully passed through the portal, and I could see it clearly here."
Carmire was paying attention to all this, and at this time he couldn't help asking: "What do you plan to do if the signal cannot pass through the portal? What if the explorer interrupts contact with the outside world after entering the Kingdom of God?"
"We have a plan," Windsor Mapel said immediately, "If the control signal from the rear is interrupted, the explorer will judge the action process by himself. It will patrol and collect data in a limited area near the portal, collect a small number of samples, and return on it after the specified time - and if it senses that it is harmful to itself, it will immediately destroy itself."
Carmire nodded and did not ask in detail what the "harmful things" judged by the puppet were all, because this part of the information was publicly circulated within the Theocratic Council, and its source was several senior advisers of the Council. In the "List of Hazardous Things in the Kingdom of God", it includes and is not limited to matters that are active on their own, disordered light and shadow products, activated shadows and anything with the above characteristics. Basically, as long as it is impossible to exist in the real world, it can cause mental pollution to ordinary people and has the tendency to spread actively, all belong to the "harmful things" that may breed in the Kingdom of God.
His eyes returned to the portal, to the mages responsible for controlling the explorers, and stared at the holographic projections floating between the mages - the explorer has now left the area where the portal can directly see, and the people "here" can only judge the environment around the puppet through these holographic projections.
He saw a very wide space, with most of the ground in the space paved with huge stones, and he saw some magnificent buildings in the distance, with the exterior walls of those buildings glowing iron gray, and the tops seemed to be decorated with polished spears, swords or shields. These scenes made many people on the scene think of the scene depicted by the believers of the God of War:
In the realm of the God of War, the magnificent palaces and cities stand on the rocky land. The most exquisite weapons and armor in the world are decorations everywhere in this city. The brave warriors can enjoy the battle without death in the arena of the God of War, and can also enjoy delicious food and wine all night in the God of War's palace. Everyone has palaces and temples, as well as eternal, glorious life.
Now they have seen the earth made of huge stones, the iron palaces, and the weapons and armor decorated on the palaces. If explorers continue to move forward, they will most likely find the arena and a place for banquets that are described in mythological classics.
"Very wide... It's really the same as they depicted in the classics..." A wizard Tifeng looked at the influence sent back by the explorer in surprise, and couldn't help but whisper to himself.
"Of course it will be the same, because the kingdom of the God of War was originally 'depicted' by believers,'" Windsor Mapel said lightly, his eyes never leaving the holographic projection beside the portal. She suddenly sighed, "Broad, but empty... There is no one. Could it be that the God of War is usually wandering in such an empty city?"
"Maybe it only became like this after the fall of the God of War," Carmire said while thinking, "When He was alive, it might be very lively here."
"A group of imagined phantoms accompany an imagined god? And every day, you can only drink alcohol except fight..." A Cecil magic technician muttered, unable to help but shake his head, "This sounds like a wonderful life..."
"Grey," Windsor Mapel said with a frown slightly at this time, "Correction Group, can explorers observe the sky of the Kingdom of God?"
"Of course, the perspective is adjusting - the Explorer is starting to look up."
Accompanied by the voice of the manipulator, the picture presented in the holographic projection began to move, and the "sky" covering the Kingdom of God gradually occupied most of the picture.
A boundless, vast, chaotic, deep, and no sun, moon and stars were visible. Only the sky filled with endless light appeared in front of Carmier and Windsor. As the explorers adjusted their focus of their vision, they saw countless tiny floating things appearing in the broad and chaotic sky.
Those things seemed to be swept by clouds, or moved behind the clouds, and in groups of fragmented phantoms. They were obviously circling around the Kingdom of God and had a large overall structure. Unfortunately, with the explorer's limited vision and resolution, the technicians guarding outside the portal had no way to see what they were.
But Carmier and Windsor Mapel know what that is.
"That's what a few 'senior consultants' mentioned..." Ms. Windsor couldn't help but mutter, "those that revolve around the Kingdom of God..."
"The wreckage of the ancient gods, the wreckage of the Kingdom of God, the wreckage of civilization, and the echo of the thoughts that have disappeared - those things are endlessly surging in the 'deep sea' and will not completely dissipate for hundreds of thousands of years," Kamier said in a deep voice, with a resonant echo in his low voice, "It's really the same as what senior consultants said... If you live in the Kingdom of God, you can see those things as soon as you look up."
"But that's still different from what I thought," Windsor couldn't help but say, "I thought there would be some larger..."
Before the legendary wizard finished speaking, she heard the mages next to the portal suddenly exclaim. She immediately looked up and saw a huge shadow slowly moving through the holographic projection-
It was a fragmented wreck, which seemed to have been part of the dome of a certain palace, but the chaotic lines and irregular edges did not match any building in Carmier or Windsor's memory. The wreck seemed to have something broken on the edge. It looked like an arm or a piece of dry and rotten wing, but whatever it was, it was enough to make people feel uneasy and exclaim.
This huge wreckage slowly moved in the sky, perhaps with a scale of kilometers. It looked very close to the dome of the God of War God, so that explorers could observe some of the subtle structures of the wreckage - it slowly floated from the edge of the picture, occupying nearly one-third of the entire holographic projection's perspective, and then slowly drifted to the distance, leaving only a distorted and weird black silhouette to the mortals next to the portal that could trigger endless conjectures.
After a while, Carmier's voice came in a low voice, awakening Windsor from his surprise: "...the larger thing you want is here."
"That's..." Windsor took a light breath, "That's the wreckage running around the Kingdom of God?"
"Obviously," Kamier said in a deep voice, "it seems that the wreckages are big and small, far and near... like irregular bubbles floating in the ocean, and the so-called kingdom of God is floating in this sea of bubbles."
"Although I've heard this from senior consultants before, it's true that seeing it with my own eyes is another feeling," Windsor Mapel said with a wry smile, "that thing scared me."
